Arnold Zweig
(born Nov. 10, 1887, Glogau, Silesia, Ger. — died Nov. 26, 1968, East Berlin, E.Ger.) German writer. Zweig, who was Jewish, was exiled from Germany by the Nazis in 1933. He lived as an émigré in Palestine until 1948, when he moved to East Germany. He is best known for the novel The Case of Sergeant Grischa (1927), which depicts the German army in World War I through a Russian prisoner's tragic encounter with the Prussian military bureaucracy. Later works, including Education Before Verdun (1935) and The Crowning of a King (1937), follow the fortunes of characters he introduced in Sergeant Grischa.
